Communication time
The communication time is the time between the start of a request and the arrival of the
corresponding response.
The communication times in a PROFIBUS network depend on ...
the processing time in the controller;
the transmission delay time (baud rate / telegram length);
the nesting depth of the network.
Processing time in the controller
There are no interdependencies between parameter data and process data.
